I 100% recommend it! Such a creative idea & worked great :) ### 1/5 — Hate it *2021-07-11, version 1.11.1* My friend was so sweet to get me a gift card to a local store the only problem is I had to download this app and give my info in order to use it. Couldn’t find my gift card in the app to save my life then when I finally did I went to their website to order... there is no place to use the dapit card because its not a real card. So i clicked on dapit to send funds. And it SENT MY WHOLE CARD BALANCE. I had no idea if it sent my order or how much was left or anything.I had to call the restaurant and they were like. Yeah it just sent us the entire balance, so I had to order over the phone and use the entire wallet amount. It 100% requires location tracking even if you’re just using a local gift card that doesn’t make any sense to me. Xnay though, because its BOT a guft card. Its digital currency that you can only use at an assigned place. The password reset often requires a six digit code which is fine but you can’t copy and paste it from the email or at all pastes into one spot. And the thing that bothers me absolutely the most is I can’t just order the food through the app especially with COVID. Let me have an avenue to use it through the clients website or yelp or give me options through the app. Otherwise cash is better.Going to the reviews it seems that people giving money seem to love this app but people getting it seem to hate it. And I know you don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but this app should be working on making peoples lives easier on both the giving and receiving end. ### 5/5 — Great for business *2021-01-16, version 1.11.1* This app is great for business love the ordering update. ### 5/5 — Fácil para usar *2020-12-25, version 1.11.1* Este app es chido, me gusta como puedo apoyar a negocios locales ### 1/5 — Beware of this info/harvesting/phishing scam *2020-11-22, version 1.7.7* It seems like this app is made to harvest people’s information. You can’t use it unless you have your locations turned on and leave them on. Also their privacy policy is very sketchy with words like “we may retain information as long as we deem necessary”. The concept is cool but the execution is sketch. Also Studios 23 is the head of this whole operation but I can’t find Information on them. Very sketch and an information harvesting scam. **Developer response:** Thank you for your comments. It seems that there is some confusion. We built the app to help small businesses. With that being said, users can allow location services; that way, it shows them the businesses near them. We are also transitioning the company from studios 23 to our new company. Finally, we are updating the privacy policy. If you still have concerns, please feel free to reach out at info@dapitapp.com ### 5/5 — this is great for local *2020-10-01, version 1.7.7* great app to support local business. ### 5/5 — What a great app! *2020-06-20, version 1.7.7* What a great idea! I can now actually do something to help local businesses. I’ll be using this during Christmas for sure! I can now gently direct and encourage others to help support the local businesses that I choose to support. Great app! 👍 ### 5/5 — Easy and great options! *2020-03-05, version 1.7.7* They’re adding businesses from all over. Easy to use and fun to send giftcards :) ### 2/5 — Privacy concerns *2020-01-23, version 1.6.4* The interface is easy enough to use, but it’s extremely annoying that the app is basically completely unusable unless you turn on location services for the app. Even after I bought a gift card already, I couldn’t access it later unless my location services were turned on. Please consider changing this feature. **Developer response:** We have the location services on due to the fact that this is a local business app. It mostly lets you know the closes businesses to you based on your location. We apologize if there is confusion, we are working on new updates that we are sure you would like. Please email us directly for any questions or concerns at info@dapitapp.com. ## Frequently asked questions about DapIt ### What does DapIt do?
